Default 1/8 th and 1/4

I don't have a 1/4 strip near by. I trap 95mph on the 1/8th. Any guesses on how I would do on the 1/4? my 60' is not that good 2.1 ish (a lot of traction issues and I'm not a pro).

We would need a mod list or at least a 1/8 mile time to estimate that...

Time slip please....my car runs 8.35-8.45, but at 84-86mph. My guess is in the 12.4-12.6 area at 120ish.

hmm if your doing 95mph in the 1/8th mile then i would think your doing rather well...... i gotten 99 to 100 lowest in my HR 07 Z with test pipes, catback, and tune. With that mph i got a 14.2ish. Like03 said we need a mod list and honestly go back to the track to confirm what your saying.

95 MPH int he 1/8, we're talking 11 second passes in the 1/4 mi with good 60ft times. That is pretty fast my friend. I would also like to see your mod list and timeslip.

my cleaner or somebody threw away my stack of slips.
my car is capable of 11s (500whp) but I don't think I have the skills or the tires to break into 11s. I don't have good 60ft time. from what I remember, I was unable to break 2sec. (low 2s at best). my trap speed is fairly consistent though.. 90mph+
from reading, I'm guessing low to mid 12s.
my tires are toyo proxys 285
gonna hit the 1/8 a few more times before driving up to the 1/4

In order to get good 60ft times with that power you need a good drag tire and practice (Assuming you have the clutch to hold). Your skills will improve at the track not with calculators, so get out to the track, save your timeslips for reference as you make changes to your launch. 60ft times will make a big impact on your total 1/4mi or 1/8mi times.

8.8 @ 80 = 13.7 @ 101 stock

8.4 @ 84 = 13.1 @ 107 na bolt ons

7.7 @ 88-90 = 11.9-12.0 @ 114-116 ST

7.1 @ 94mph (I let off right before the 1/8) = 11.1 @ 126 Twins

If you legit trapped 95mph in the 1/8 spinning to that trap, you could trap higher if you hooked up and Id estimate you to run very low 11's on a good day, high 11's on a bad day with a good launch of course.

Spinning Id estimate mid 12's @ low 120's like somebody mentioned.

Well while we wait for the mod list .. here is what happened to me at the 1/8. I lauched slipping the clutch (CC STG 4) 4500 RPM's, got into wheel hop, went into 2nd, got into wheel hop again, got out of it went inot 3rd and trapped 81 MPH. I have Toyo proxes (265's) in the rear and VDC/SLIP lights on, so that didnt help. The plan is to go 275 nitto's NT-05's and get the solid diff bushings. That wheel hop was embarasing!!
